Abstract

Carbonyl-containing dihydrobenzofurans/dihydrobenzopyrans were prepared from carbonyl-containing ortho-allyl/prenylphenols by activation of phenolic oxygen atom using polyphosphoric acid (PPA). Various substrates were investigated, and the corresponding dihydrobenzofurans/dihydrobenzopyrans were obtained in good to excellent yields.
